    It’s really weird to describe a woman in politics with her sexual relations to other people. Can’t think of any man that has been described that way. Smells like misogyny tbh.

    Edit: Yikes at the downvotes. Guess I forgot there are mostly ex-reddit people here.

      Yeah, there’s accurate insulting things to call her that aren’t put downs about fucking someone. That said, if she was railing against adultery, the hypocrisy would make it fair game to me tbh. This isn’t a “don’t stoop to their level” thing, it’s a “this is just entirely unrelated to everything that makes her a terrible terrible human being” thing

      Honestly Lemmy has terrible gender relations, not worse than some of the subreddits though

      I personally didn’t interpret “mushroom gobbler” as a homophobic slur. I thought OP was alluding to the fact that she has about as much lucidity as someone who’s high on mushrooms.

      I could be wrong though, I’m not American.

          Ah right, I thought she was the Republican nutter who had a three way with a woman and her husband. Different Republican nutter.

      You’re right, let’s be respectful to the person that disrespects everyone and everything else…

        More a long the lines that fucking someone shouldn’t be the cause of disrespect unless it’s hypocritical. Who gives a shit if she’s fucked trump, she’s an insane shit bag at best and a literal Russian agent at worst and those are REAL causes of disrespect
